Hi! I'm new here on this forum and I like asking questions. So, here you go the first one:

Here in where I live till soon there're many stray cats because people dump rubbish casually and many times with a lot of leftover food. Those cats look dirty skinny and ugly, really.

I notice while visitng Cyprus there're also many cats which I haven't seen in many other Europeans cities. Can someone explain how so and why there's no entity/organization taking care of the look of the city in this regard?

Thanks for any comments.

Hello
Please respect our cat culture They are skinny because the climate is warmer than other European countries. If they look particularly unwell, then it would be nice if you gave them a little something to eat - but they are NOT meant to be fat like pampered moggies.

Cats have been a part of Cyprus' landscape for thousands of years:

They are looked over by their very own saint - Saint Nicholas ...

Yes, CY cats are designed for their CY environment... skinny and short-haired, practically no fur at all.

A very, very, very long history of cats on CY... indeed there is evidence that the earliest known pet cat in the world ever, was a CY cat...

As to cat welfare, the CY Feline Society may be able to give info...

The easiest way is to notify some Chinamen. They will take good care of the cats.

Our cats are very horny and breed like rabbits!

If you see 2-3 of them starring don’t stay there for too long because we have many cases each year of tourists getting molested by them.

Basically, just quickly throw your rubbish bag in the dumpster and RUN!

Hello GIG - thanks for your explanation.

I didn't mean any disrepect of CY culture. But is it considered part of your culture if something, in this case, the cats, make the city look dirty? IMHO, a more constructive thought would be to find a solution to these over-populated cats, thus helping to make the city look cleaner and nicer. This would also attract more tourists, miaow?

Btw, I'm very impressed by the message in your signature lines. How is this possibly real in 2011? ...Ok, I'll go slow with my questions.

Yes, Sir! Just hope they'll not scare off all the tourists which the island's tourism industry is relying on.

Good evening!

Actually, only a small group of Chinese from the south eat cat meat - ask any Chinese if you would like to verify this one... Agreed, somehow someone needs to take care of this to my mind cats issue.
